sorry for the delay, i was away, i hope it's not too late:

i tried some basic documents with hebrew:
both the following for the standard article class (following the normal
recommendations for setting up culmus fonts for lyx and the keybord
input switching using f12:
% Preview source code
%% LyX 2.0.0beta3 created this file. For more info, see
http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[hebrew,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[cp1255,latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
\inputencoding{cp1255}%
\inputencoding{latin9}a\inputencoding{cp1255}\R{ש}
\end{document}
and for the hebrew article type with the default document language set
for hebrew:
% Preview source code
%% LyX 2.0.0beta3 created this file. For more info, see
http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[english,hebrew]{article}

\makeatother
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
ש\inputencoding{latin9}\L{a}
\end{document}
generate a preview pdf with only the english 'a' (the second example has
it aligned tot he right of the page as it should) and the hebrew font
doesn't show at all :(
(it's kinda odd btw that the second example show a non default lyx
environment as it's what lyx itself shows)
this is as you can see lyx2.0.0beta3 on fedora 14 (with
2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686, if you want to know specific pacakges i'd be
happy to provide) the viewer is evince 2.32.0 which doesn't seem to have
any problems showing documents with hebrew fonts :S
the second log looks something like:
